The photo of this impressive elephant bull, harvested by a dedicated Motshwere Safaris client in our area, has been circulating across social media, and it has been used by outfitters without permission or acknowledgment. This client invested three intense weeks in camp, pursuing the ethical hunt of a mature, older bull in an area with high elephant populations. Conservation efforts encourage the responsible management of these incredible animals.
At Motshwere Safaris, we are committed to ethical hunting practices. Harvesting mature bulls, especially in areas where their population has exceeded the environment’s capacity, is essential for maintaining ecological balance. Moreover, the benefits of such a hunt go beyond the hunter's experience; the meat from a single elephant provides a crucial source of protein for hundreds of local families, and significantly impacts their lives.
Congratulations to our client on achieving this remarkable trophy and the unforgettable journey that led to it. We are honored to be part of such rewarding experiences that benefit not only hunters but entire communities. 🏆🐘

These are three incredible trophy elephant bulls, harvested this year by Motshwere Safaris & Outfitters' clients in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Witnessing such majestic animals is always a privilege. 🐘

Elephant hunting is far more than just pulling the trigger. It’s a challenging and demanding experience, but ultimately rewarding. What stands out most is seeing how the meat is shared with local communities—often providing their primary source of protein for the entire year.

These bulls were all mature, old elephants, highlighting a key fact: hunting, when done sustainably, plays a crucial role in conservation. It supports wildlife management, community welfare, and helps maintain the balance of ecosystems.

Jim Flanders, his wife Kristin, and their granddaughter Sophia recently enjoyed a hunting trip at Motshwere Safaris & Outfitters. It was an absolute privilege to host them, and we look forward to welcoming them back in the future. We're excited to share their experience with you, in their own words and we thank them for this wonderful review:

“Our recent stay at Motswhere Safaris & Outfitters was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I, my wife and granddaughter arrived, it was clear that this was going to be a unique and unforgettable experience.
The accommodations were amazing, blending luxury with the rustic charm of the African wilderness. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Each room was equipped with all the modern amenities you could wish for while maintaining an authentic feel that truly enhanced the overall experience.
The food at Motswhere was outstanding, with each meal being a delightful culinary journey. The chefs took great care in preparing dishes. One of the standout features was their ability to accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising on taste or quality. This level of attention to detail and customer care was greatly appreciated.
The professional hunters at Motswhere were incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, making the hunting excursions both exciting and educational. They had an impressive understanding of the local game animals and the surrounding environment, ensuring that each outing was safe, ethical, and rewarding. Their expertise greatly enhanced the overall experience, making it enjoyable for both seasoned hunters and newcomers alike.
The staff at Motswhere truly made the stay memorable. They were friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests were comfortable and satisfied. Their warm hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.
Motswhere African Safaris offers an unparalleled experience that combines luxurious accommodations, exquisite food, expert-guided hunting adventures, and exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary adventure with a touch of luxury.”

Here at Motshwere Safaris, it's not just about hunting; it’s also about being a part of our clients' most cherished moments.
We were thrilled when Kenny Jahn introduced us to his girlfriend, Callie Lieding. Kenny had been planning something extraordinary—he chose his favorite hunting destination in Africa, Motshwere Safaris, as the perfect place to ask Callie to spend the rest of their lives together.
Kenny caught Callie completely off guard, and we’re honored to have witnessed such a special moment.
Thank you, Kenny, for allowing us to share in your joy. We wish you both a future filled with happiness and look forward to continuing our friendship and hunting adventures for many years to come. 🦌💍

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of one of our longtime clients who became a dear friend, Joni Hackwell. Joni passed away yesterday after a horse-riding accident a few days ago.
The Hackwell family is part of the Motshwere Safaris family, and we all loved Joni very much. She was a beautiful, gentle, and strong woman and a rock for her husband Richard, their children, and grandchildren. We will always remember her fondly.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hackwell family during this difficult and heartbreaking time. May the peace and strength of our Heavenly Father carry you through this time and may you experience the endless love and support of your loved ones – today and every day.
💔

There hasn't been anyone more excited to come hunting at Motshwere Safaris & Outfitters in a long time than David Antley! His excitement and enthusiasm were infectious.
Congratulations on your stunning kudu, David! You can be rightly proud! We look forward to hunting with you again in the near future!

🌟 Congratulations to Larry Larsen on this beauty! 🌟

Larry has hunted at Motshwere before, but this year he brought his family along, making it an even more special experience. It's messages like this that make our work so rewarding:

"I want to thank the Motshwere Organization for the wonderful time I, my wife Barbara, and our two sons, Ryan and Shaun, had on our Safari with your organization. My wife said it was the 'Best Trip' we have ever been on in 35 years of marriage and far exceeded any expectations she ever had. Please know I will convey this same information to all the people I know, that Motshwere Safaris are the only outfitters to use when hunting in Africa. Thank you all for the exceptionally great time we all had!"

A huge thank you to the Larsens! We thoroughly enjoyed having you with us and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
